Ebay...seriously.

Just make sure they have a 98 or greater feedback percentage and a high amount of items sold and your good to go.

Theres a seller call performance-r-us that offers the best prices i've seen. I buy from him and his quick with responses to your email.

We have typically used Autometer gauges in the past, but I have used the AEM UEGO as well.

I have also been looking into the PLX gauges. PLX Devices Inc. They are OLED, and can switch between different parameters. They look great too.

Illusive, where'd you get your gauges? I was thinking of the Greddy eManage Ultimate, but my experience in A/F sensors etc. is quite lacking.

yea mounting the pod was a pretty big hassle but only because of how the inner vents are positioned. also, if you are boosting, an oil pressure gauge would be better to have than an oil temp gauge.

hmm...interesting. so better oil pressure? i have an a/t, so i figured that the temp would be important. but i am novice in these matters, so i'll take your word. at the very least, i'll probably end up with just a boost gauge.


oh kelso, thanks for posting up where you got your seats and rails at in your interior thread, i saved it in my favorites, and i'll be rocking some nice recaros eventually! thanks man!
